The 22 year-old Egyptian signed for the Blues from Swiss side Basle for £11 million in January 2014. It is not thought that he features in Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho’s plans, which may pave the way for Spurs to make their move for the player during the summer transfer window.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will attempt to convince the winger that his future belongs in London rather than completing a move to Florence, where he has put on a number of show-stopping displays for La Viola.

Chelsea will be crowned Premier League champions if they beat Crystal Palace on Sunday, while Tottenham play Manchester City at White Hart Lane.
